2016 SUMMER AND FALL CLASSES

The latest schedule is here. The website shows all the classes we've planned through October 2016, with a few 2017 classes. Classes coming up soon include:

SPECIAL EVENTS IN JUNE

June is filled with special, new and interesting courses.

NRA Basic Pistol Blended Learning

The NRA has converted its Basic Pistol course to a "blended learning" format that combines 6-8 hours of online instruction with a range session. The online course contains a lot of detailed information valuable to pistol shooters: details and topics that are good to know but typically not covered in depth in our courses.

We'll be offering sessions of the range part of the course this summer, with the first one on June 11 from 9-12. Even if you have no plans to take the online course, you can still attend and run the shooting drills. The class is at the Basic Pistol 2 level and would be an excellent refresher for Basic Pistol 2 graduates that haven't done much shooting since class. The range part of the course is $60; the online portion is a separate $60 paid direct to NRA.

AT-4 and AT-5

On June 11 we'll offer a session of the AT-4: Pistol Skills Development live fire course.

On June 18, Karl, Leslie Buck and Dave Reichek will teach a session of the newly redesigned AT-5: Tactics Laboratory class. That class has been updated to cover integrated gun/knife/unarmed material, similar to Craig Douglas' Extreme Close Quarters Concepts course, but in a lower intensity, shorter format. This class will be all force on force training, using Simunition, not airsoft. We will provide all training gear and guns used in class.

Summer Preparedness Conference

Paul Martin's Preparedness in the Suburbs Conference is June 25th at the Onion Creek Country Club. It will be a great, short (4 hour) introduction to individual preparedness.

Want to get started in prepping but feel overwhelmed at the process?  Afraid you’ll buy the wrong thing or use a bad strategy?  This is the preparedness conference for you!  In a half day, Paul Martin will jump start your preparedness efforts by cutting through the technical details and help you design a workable plan to get you prepared for most disasters.  This is a great course for a novice prepper and a good review for more experienced ones.  Get you and your family signed up today for this event, as space is limited.

Hardwired Tactical / Lone Star Medics Course

On June 25-26 we'll be hosting Darryl Bolke of Hardwired Tactical and Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics for a 2 day Close Quarters Pistol/Tactical Medicine for Violent Encounters course.

The course will focus on gunfighting in the 2-7 yard zone, with emphasis on difficult shots and application of medic skills in urban, complex environments. Darryl Bolke has over 2 decades of law enforcement experience that includes multiple deadly force incidents and investigation of more than 75 incidents involving others.

Summer IPSC Matches

Due to popular demand we are bringing back the summer weekday evening IPSC matches. This year's matches will be on Wednesday evenings: June 8, June 22, July 6, July 27, August 3, August 17.
